DOGS Unlimited's Dura-lon collar is made to stand up to years of use by the roughest of dogs. They're made from authentic BioThane coated webbing to reduce the possibility of wicking in wet or humid conditions; wicking is what causes de-lamination and de-lamination results in failure of the collar. Not good if you expect your collar to last and last.

At 1" wide the BioThane coated webbing has been tested to a breaking strength of 1000 lbs and it's fade resistant.

SWAT Rivets are free and a nice option for dogs that are pets whose collars do not get pulled or tugged. They are a thin metal rivet and are swatted with a hammer to attach the nameplate to the collar. Because they are made of thin metal they are easy to drill out if you need to change out the nameplate with a new, updated nameplate. But they are also easily popped off if the collar gets tugged on or pulled on.

Machine Stamped Rivets are a tubular rivet post and cap set and the same style rivet that's used when making the collar. It's a very strong rivet and actually takes a rivet machine to attach the cap to the post. They are a much more permanent rivet when it comes to attaching the nameplate and great for working dogs and dogs whose collar will be pulled and tugged.
